Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who visited Fortis Hospital in Mohali to meet Punjabi singer Rajvir Jawanda, has shared an update on his health.
Speaking to reporters outside the hospital, Mann said that the singer, who was injured in a serious road accident, is now in a "better condition than yesterday," although he remains unconscious. Mann added that Rajvir had been brought to the hospital in a very serious state.
"Rajvir Jawanda was the victim of a terrible road accident. He has been undergoing treatment here since yesterday. His fans worldwide are praying for his recovery. Today, I met his family and doctors. His condition is better than yesterday. When he was brought in yesterday, his heart and other organs were not functioning properly... He is currently unconscious. Recovery from head injuries is slow... But advice from other expert doctors is also being sought. The doctors said that yesterday, he was not even in a good enough condition to be taken for an MRI," said Mann.
According to a statement issued by Fortis Hospital, Mohali, the accident took place on Saturday, 27 September, when Rajvir Jawanda was admitted in an "extremely critical condition" at 1:45 pm.
He had sustained severe head and spinal injuries in the road accident earlier that morning. The singer was initially taken to the Civil Hospital, where he suffered a cardiac arrest, before being transferred to Fortis Hospital.
"On arrival, he was immediately assessed by the Emergency and Neurosurgery teams. Detailed examinations and investigations were carried out, and he was placed on advanced life support at Fortis Hospital Mohali," the statement added.
Meanwhile, Rajvir is being treated by a team of neurosurgeons and critical care doctors, who continue to closely monitor his condition.
Ludhiana-born Rajvir is loved for his songs Kali Jawande Di, Mera Dil, and Sardari. He has also acted in Punjabi films and is admired for his energetic stage presence. Best known for his passion for bikes, he often shared videos of his rides through the hills.
